Alysha Abrams
I was born and raised in the Seattle area, moving out to Bothell in 2002. I am the mother to one beautiful little boy and it is my true joy in life. I have a great deal of experience in the Early Childhood Education field, having taught preschool and prekindergarten at Heritage. I’ve also taught at other preschools both traditional and Montessori. Previously, I enjoyed a career as a certified makeup artist at Gene Juarez but realized something was “missing”. I began formal training in Early Childhood Education, earning recognition on the Dean’s and President’s Lists. hcabothell.org
